Channel Island Shores Best kept Secret in Ventura

RhondaH6

Our family of 6 stayed here multiple times this year. If you want a home instead of a hotel room (at the same cost as a hotel room!!), with laundry and hot tubs and multiple bathrooms and super clean and quality amenities, this is the place to be. It is also about 30 seconds to walk to the beach. Unbelievable.

This is a small resort, really just a group of condos, in a quiet residential neighborhood a few doors from a wonderful sandy beach. Great for adults or families looking for a simple, relaxing, beach-oriented vacation. Oxnard is not a "fancy" location, not a lot of things to do there, but it has everything you might need (restaurants, grocery stores, etc.). The location is pretty far from Los Angeles/Hollywood (about 1.5 hour drive from LAX), but convenient to Malibu and to Santa Barbara.
The most outstanding thing about this resort were the staff. All were super friendly and went out of their way to be helpful and to make me feel welcome and valued.
I look forward to staying here again!

We were pleasantly surprised to find this nice, clean and quiet gem while in town for a wedding. Two story with two master bedrooms upstairs. Kitchen, family room, bathroom, washer & dryer downstairs. Bonus was the hot tub on the patio. We will definitely come back!

The unit was a bit dated but had all the conveniences including regular sized fridge, stove, and microwave. It is a timeshare condo with place settings, dining table, cooking utensils, etc. The living room had a pull out sofa bed and a tv with vcr/dvd player where my girls watched their 4 free dvds with free popcorn provided by the office AND a complimentary bag of microwave popcorn too. The master bedroom had just a tv and a king sized bed and the regular furnishings. This was a ground floor unit and so there was a sliding glass door from the master bedroom to a small patio with a wonderful jacuzzi spa for 4. Also a bench, barbecue grill, and a hose for cleaning off the sand which was at the beach, one block away. The office also provided free boogie boards which my girls enjoyed in the evening. Highly recommended for a fun beach stay, not luxurious, but inexpensive with lots of extras. A drawback for some may be that the office is closed from 6pm to morning, so if you are arriving late or have issues at night, it may be a little tricky.

Channel Island Shores Recharged

First_Advice

Submitted on 11-06-2016

We spent 4 nights there and came home completely recharged. The unit has everything you need. We brought nothing except beach towels. The office has extras such as beach chairs, dvds, books. VONS is nearby. After 3 nights they were suppose to puck up trasg but did not. This was a relatively small omition, the reating is still "excellent".

Channel Island Shores Will definitely return

Lodging in California is expensive so we felt lucky to find the condo at such an affordable price for so much. It is so close to the beach which is very nice and not crowded. See our sunset picture below.
Oxnard is right between everything we wanted to see along the central coast. Recommend the tar pit beach for interest and a cool dip. Ventura was fun and close by. Have to go to Aloha on the promenade for a really nice dinner.

We stayed at the resort for a week and had a wonderful vacation. The 1 BDRM condo was spacious and comfortable. The location was perfect with the shops, stores, and the harbor so close by it was easy to get overwhelmed as far as choosing what to do. Staff was extremely welcoming and they had everything you needed for a beach getaway.

I never knew this area existed! What a great alternative to the highly commercial, crowded and expensive areas in Ventura and Santa Barbara. It doesn't have the hills to hike in, but if you're here for the beach it's perfect.

Warm on the beach during the day, but not too hot. Cool at night - bring long sleeves and long pants if you want a long walk on the beach at night.
There is a nice harbor with several good restaurants a couple of miles down the beach (I'd especially recommend the Brazilian restaurant). You can rent boats and lots of other water toys there if you are up for adventure!

Channel Island Shores Channel Islands vacation

This was our third visit to Channel Islands Shores and we enjoyed it even more than before! Each time we have discovered more attractions in this beautiful part of the California coast. At the resort, we love the proximity to the beach, the friendly helpful staff and the harbor and park within walking distance. This time we also visited Santa Barbara and spent time in Ventura but our favorite spot was our "home away from home" in Oxnard! Great place for a family vacation!

Channel Island Shores Awful Area and small apartment

Submitted on 10-09-2016

The area is really dirty, the beach is quiet but there's a reason. It was so windy we couldn't even spend longer than 10 minutes down there. There really was nothing to do if you couldn't go to the beach so we left early even though we had paid for two nights. I will never go back. It was a waste of $681 which is what it ended up costing. Far too much!!

The unit DOES NOT HAVE air conditioning; so you open the windows and being a street over from the ocean, leaves everything damp. The smoke detectors work really well though - my husband made toast on the first morning and set it off. He made his toast in the half bath on the main floor not for the rest of the week. They promise trash collection once - never happened, again my husband had to take it out. We are RCI members and there was a 13.00 "resort fee" ? The bathrooms are circa 1980's. The o...

This a great resort in a perfect location. Beach is a very short walk. This location works as a great base if you are sightseeing L.A., Hollywood, Ventura, Santa Barbara, Solvang or any of the cute quaint towns in this area. The units are large, updated & most important clean. Staff is very friendly & professional. You won't be disappointed.

My family and I have stayed here a couple of weekends so far. Great place to stay in! Great service, friendly staff, great location, various shopping plazas and restaurants close by, not to mention just a few steps to the beach! If you live in a noisy city like I do, the beach resort is such a nice vacation getaway.
